Connecting Rod 4mm X 60mm Orthopedic Ilizarov External Fixator Stainless Steel

A connecting rod with dimensions of 4mm x 60mm in an orthopedic Ilizarov external fixator made of stainless steel is a common component used in orthopedic surgery for bone fixation and alignment.

This rod is typically part of the Ilizarov external fixator system, which consists of rings, wires, pins, and connecting rods. The fixator system is used to stabilize fractured bones, correct deformities, or aid in bone healing.

The dimensions 4mm x 60mm refer to the diameter and length of the connecting rod respectively. The rod is made of stainless steel, which is chosen for its strength, durability, and biocompatibility with the human body.

During surgery, the connecting rod is used to connect the rings or other components of the fixator system. It helps create a stable frame around the affected bone or bones, allowing for proper alignment and support during the healing process.

Orthopedic surgeons and medical professionals utilize Ilizarov external fixators in various orthopedic procedures, particularly in cases where traditional methods may not be suitable or effective. These fixators can be adjusted over time to gradually lengthen or realign bones as needed for optimal healing and recovery.
